Instructions
Making the Cordial: Place all the components in a pan, bring to a light boil, mixing to dissolve. Then, take off the stove allowing it to cool down fully. Pour into an sterilised bottle, close it and refrigerate it in the refrigerator, where it will keep for around four weeks.
For the Premix: Combine every spirits and syrup in a big jug, allow it to infuse for one hour, then pass it through , ideally through muslin, to ensure it's completely strained.
When ready to serve: Pour 85ml of your premix into a mixing glass filled with ice, and stir carefully for about 60 seconds until cold. Strain into an cold coupe glass or equivalent, garnish with the cranberries and finish using a brief mist of mandarin oil above the glass.
